What I suggest you do is check your laptop's system specifications. Universe Sandbox 2's system requirements may be checked
here. If your system has specs exceeding the system requirements listed, it should work. If it still does not work even with the specs fulfilling the criteria, it is probably not a system-related issue but a bug of some kind. If that happens, report the issue to the devs.
I play the game on a MacBook Air, which is quite terrible for gaming purposes. I can still hit 30 FPS easily despite this. Most laptops nowadays should be able to handle this game.
